Hello fellow strugglers with sleep. I've posted about my experience on other threads in the forum, but felt I should comment on this one since I have taken both Klonopin and Gabapentin in the past. When I tapered of 1-1.5mg of Klonopin at bedtime, because a young psychiatrist forced me to when I was turning 65 years of age, I spent 9 months sleeping very poorly and sometimes not at all. Tried CBT-I (all the behavioral modifications), over the counter sleep supplements, gadgets, recorded meditations, acupuncture, etc. until I finally threw up my hands and sought the help of a Neurologist who specializes in sleep medicine. She confirmed my anxiety around sleeping and was "tempted" to prescribe Klonopin again. I declined because as much as it helped me sleep consistently for 12 years, I did not want to go through the long process of getting off of it again. She also said that the things I had tried - Vistoril and Remeron - were not likely to help with my level of insomnia. Tried Ambien first, but it caused morning nausea and daytime anxiety. Switched to Lunesta two weeks ago, and for now, it is working well. I cannot put into words how different my life has become now that I've had good sleep night after night. She also confirmed that not sleeping at all comes with its own set of problems, and is not acceptable when there are medications to help. I do feel mentally a bit sharper and steadier on my feet since being off Klonopin, but there are times I miss the calm at bedtime. As for Gabapentin, I only took it for a few months - felt groggy and foggy and gained weight, so I stopped. Good luck to everyone on this journey. People who rarely experience sleep issues do not understand.
